Snow BIZ, KADE.-A mail arrived hate
Tuesh y night. the first since S'nriay.
Jay Rhoads succeeded in bringing j.
across the mountain after laying out for
two nights and then having to abandon
the stage at Willow creek on account Of
the terrible snow drifts which the long
continued gale had created. Mondav
night the wind blew itself out and
wound up in a snow storm, and so the
next day as the air was calm and still a
long string Of teams started out to break
the road over the mountain, and are no
doubt having a fine time of it, as the
snow is six feet deep on a level, with
snow drifts as big as the grange hall at
frequent intervals. The road will pro-
badly be open to-day if the wind only
keeps its mouth shut, and the stages
will he running on schedule time again.
o. X. Ben was driving the previous
trip and arrived at Cottonwood after
lying out all night and abandoning one
of the stage horses which gave out on
him at Mason creek. messenger left
Cottonwood Wednesday morning to
cross the mountain on snow shoes to
relieve o. K. OF the letter mail and to
let the stage and paper mail take va
cation until the road is open. The fact
is that there has been heavy weather
on Craig's mountain and the stage
drivers have had good grit to face such
winds as have been blowing of late.
The snow is only four or five inches
deep in the center of the prairie, and
about foot deep at the base of the
mountains. The mercury dropped to
1O0 above xero Wednesday, but as there
is no wind the cold is agreeable rather
than otherwise, and the young man
who can hire cutter, a fast horse,
buffalo blanket, sweet girl, and so
forth, thinketh himself blessed above
all other men.

Gov. Zulick recommended the legis-

the rigid enforoment of the existing law
against bigamy and polygamy society

crimes, and since the test oath dsiran

LAND INsPEcroRs.-Inspectors of pub
lie and other lands by authority of the
commissioner Of the U. S. general land
office, have been looking after matters
in Lewiston and north of that point,
but none that We are aware of have as
yet visited Idaho county. We would
advise and solicit their presence here
to view one OF the finest rural districts
in the great north west, and it would
also benefit this county to have them
report the facts relative to the manner
in which titles have been acquired from
the U. s.. and thereby warrant the
issuance of patents to those who have
made final proof honestly and in ac-
cordance with law. Much of the land
in this county upon which certificates
of proof and no patents have been is
sued, are held free from taxation. tn

"ORIENT" DEAD.-The celebrated trot-
ting horse "Orient" owned by j. =. Har
riman, of this county, died last week
from over feeding. Mr.. Hartman fed
him at the regular hour and soon after
the hired man gave him another feed,
not knowing that he had been supplied.
He died within twenty four hours. He
was descended from the Clay family,
and was sired by Slraeter's Cassius Nj
Clay, and his dam was equally well
bred. ORIENT has left many fine colts
behind him who will perpetuate his
great name and come to the front with
trotting records in the northwest. AT
the Lew iston races last fall. Orient dis
tanced everything. taking the entire
money lung up for trotters at that meet.
His death is not only heavy pecuniary
loss to Mr.. Hartman but also TO the
whole north west as breeder Of fast
stock.

mob had increased to nearly 200 persons who
seemed to be willing to do most anything They
stationed themselves in small squads
along the track from South to Merrill

several cars off the track by muscular
force. but they were unsuccessful in that

no act of violence was attempted

the corner of Merrill and West streets took up

badly bruised, but not seriously hurt.

From the appearance of the mob it seemed
that all the inhabitants of the street were in
